T. Hanamoto et al., Fluoride ion-initiated alpha-fluorovinylation of carbonyl compounds with alpha-fluorovinyldiphenylmethylsilane, CHEM COMMUN, (23), 1999, pp. 2397-2398
alpha-Fluorovinyldiphenylmethylsilane was synthesized in one step from 1,1-
difluoroethylene; the TBAF-initiated reaction of the silane with carbonyl c
ompounds smoothly proceeded to give the corresponding alpha-fluoroallylic a
lcohols in good yields.
